1. Download the Tor Browser

In Windows, double-click the .exe file and select a destination folder. This can also be a USB stick.

In Mac OS X, you have to double-click the .dmg file and drag the containing file into a separate folder, such as the application folder or USB stick.

In Linux, you have to unpack the .tar.xz file with the command below.“tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-[...].tar.xz”

2. Start the Tor Browser

When you start the Tor browser for the first time, you will be asked how you want to connect. If you are unsure if your network requires further configuration (mostly it doesn’t), click on continue. Otherwise, click on “configure” and answer the questions.

Pro Tip: If Tor does not connect, or if you do not want your ISP to know you are using Tor, connect to your VPN first, then open the Tor Browser.
